This is unfortunately a common phenomenon where people from countries in the west see negative press about another country and assume its a universal issue. Often thats not true - companies like Alibaba, Tencent, and many others are willing to bend over backwards to get the best talent.
There's a lot of other companies that want their employees to work overtime, but thats probably true in a lot of countries - probably even in the US.
I wish there was some way of balancing the news coming out of countries - without resorting to censorship. It would remove a lot of prejudice,
The way to remove prejudice is to educate people like you are doing. Fundamentally, it is expected that the rest of the world sees less news about your country than you do. That's how news works.
It would behove us all to expect and believe that a country is usually more nuanced than the extremes that make it across a border.
It depends, it is true if you always get the dirty works, like coding without much thinking, but if there are some innovation ideas come to your mind from time to time, life will be much easier, and your promotion will become easier.
Got promotion is not easy here, you need to be expertise in some technical areas, and pass promotion interview, there will be many questions from many experts during that interview, you won't be considered as qualified until every answer from you satisfies them, that is why many young engineers choose to leave in one or two years, there are not much chances for them, and even you are true expert, you will get frustrated.
but life is not that hard than you think, I have a Tencent's game engineer friend, he is a tennis fun, what I get from him is they have tennis activity every day, and he can go off work at about 6PM to play tennis 2-3 days every week.
and I heard some guys from google, they need the same long hours work and pretty stressful, just they don't need to stay at the same work place that long, they have the working place flexibility.
